1/6 Hot Toys MMS 261-Star Wars: Episode IV-Han Solo 1/6th Scale Collectible Figure

[Hollywood]

Sideshow Hoth Han may be promising, but like all SS figures that deal with any human likeness the production figure always goes down hill. I would love SS to be on par with HT but they arent and never will be. They simply can not compete at that level consistently.

Even the SDCC prototype has lazy eye. I dont forsee it being any better at release time. Shame really.

Actually, looking at that particular picture of the SSC Han sculpt it looks a little like John Larroquette.

I still dig it though.

But I agree that it could be better. It reminds me of Steve Guttenberg from Police Academy.

LOL Cover up his hair and I can definitely see that.

 

[AIR]

Nope, it does not look like a Sideshow figure. Big difference in quality...at least when it comes to prototypes. Just look at the paint and the hair sculpt. This is why I wanted a Betlejuice figure from HT, not SS

Whatever your opinion is of this sculpt, it is still miles ahead of SS

I don't get why Ford is so difficult to sculpt. It's a shame that HT can get The Mandarin 100%, but not Han Solo

 

[Darthrazz]

I guess ANH Luke can't be too far behind right?

 

[TheFiend]

Ford likeness has always been elusive one way or the other. There isnt one on the market where the majority of people are satisfied with it.

The problem is I want a ht han. He paint work etc is always brilliant but I just can't get how the scuplt is so far off when they smash the avengers stuff

 

[TheBigMachine]

I'm hoping to get a HT Stormtrooper & Sandtroopers soon too. SS are little too much in the aftermarket for me right now. Especially since they're 4-5 years old now?

 

[DarthAlias]

I think troopers or Anakin are next...from the looks of the trooper belt, they will make it ANH elite status. Screen accurate!

 

[TheFiend]

Im glad Anakin got sidelined for a little while longer.

I just hope they make a better head sculpt of Hayden than this Ford effort.

 

[captainjamesbrooke]

It's not perfect, but it's easily the best we have, and the tailoring is fantastic.

Yeah that's true. But it's so frustrating! HT can, and often have really got the likeness spot on. And I want it spot on!

 

[BadMuthaDude]

I showed this to my grandma. She just said, "Matt, I'm dead, what do I care about material possessions?"

So there you have it. An objective view from the outside.

 

[DarthAlias]

Im glad Anakin got sidelined for a little while longer.

Yeah, i'd take this over Anakin but he is still a must for me. I've decided no guardians or possiby even Avengers 2 line so i can get every SW release, including 1/4 scale!

I was in the same boat as you with HT's Indy. I held off for a good while after the figure was released but ended up caving and getting it, despite the bad likeness. But I'm ultimately glad I got it. While the sculpt is lacking (I still to this day don't like it), everything else is a big step up from the Sideshow version--from the clothing to the accessories to the finish.

That's how I'm looking at this one. I truly hope they fix the head sculpt (but I kinda don't think they will), but chances are I'll get him and Chewie anyway. I know the quality will be top notch, even though the one thing that truly counts is off.

 

[karamazov80]

I would not expect a change in the sculpt here.

 

[Gipetto0812]

The sculpt isn't all the way there but oh man I think I may have to order this and Chewie!

 

[Chubs&Doggers]

When the preorder up? And how much $$$

 

[VintijDroidGutzz]

He looks like a Ken doll in SW cloths.

Better?

Yeah, nice.

Ok, we've gone from "its someone in cosplay!", now we're moving onto the " I showed it to ( enter persons name) and they had no idea who it was!" phase of the new figure reveal mania.

Tell me about it.

I just showed it to a cosplayer dressed as Solo, and they had no idea who it was.

Yep - 80% of the thread so far.

Thanks for posting that TCPOC - says it all right there.
